IEK GROUP was awarded for new solutions and advanced technologies. Based on the results of the XIV annual "Time of Innovations–2024" award, it was recognized as the winner in the "Import Substitution: Company of the Year" nomination in the "Energy and Energy Saving" category. The award has been presented since 2011 for projects and practices in the development, advancement, and implementation of innovations in various fields.
Last year, IEK GROUP presented new solutions for power supply and automation. They, like other IEK products, successfully replace goods of foreign brands on the Russian market.
For example, a 2024 novelty is the FORMAT PRO low-voltage switchboard (LVSB). This development by the company's engineers combines two products: dismountable metal enclosures of the FORMAT series and power equipment of the ARMAT line. Together they constitute a safe and reliable system for receiving and distributing electricity.
Another major innovation is the FORTE&PIANO IEK line of sockets and switches. The design of these wiring devices has no frames limiting the number of posts in a row. At the collection presentation, a line of 25 devices was assembled - an absolute world record.
IEK also offers complex solutions that can be applied in various fields, online configurators for clients to independently select equipment, a universal platform for automation, accounting, and dispatching MasterSCADA. Furthermore, IEK GROUP has extensive experience in digital business transformation, which it willingly shares with other companies.
These and other innovations are the result of IEK GROUP's 25 years of work. All this time, the company has developed primarily as a Russian manufacturer developing and supplying a wide range of products for various industries. The company moved from a set of equipment to a software and hardware complex and today possesses high-tech solutions that are easily adapted to specific customer tasks. At the same time, IEK GROUP continuously increases the share of localized products.
"Over 25 years, we have transformed from a trading company into one of the largest Russian manufacturers and software developers for automation and managing energy infrastructure. At the same time, we do not stop at what has been achieved and continue to develop innovative solutions that, we hope, will be able to fully replace European brands," says Deputy General Director for Commercial Affairs and Business Development of IEK GROUP Artem Maimor.
Today, IEK holds one of the leading positions in the supply of equipment for the electric power industry. IEK's goal for the next few years is modernization of production, development of innovative solutions, creation of a platform of digital services for market participants, replacement of products of departed foreign brands.
